My only brick story:

Had a co-worker who was an Auburn fan and had a brick from Toomer's corner on her desk (they auctioned bricks off to try and save-then-replant the trees there after they were poisoned). I photocopied the plaque on the brick, cut it out, and pasted it to a foam brick I bought online. I swapped it out with the real brick and expected to hear about it pretty quickly. The real brick sat in my desk drawer for nearly a year before I just gave up and put it back next to the fake brick. Still took her a couple months before noticing there were 2 bricks.

At that point, I'm pretty sure it was a waste of money for her to have even bought it.
 
Sometimes I peruse the estate auctions on Tangerine Zebra, because I find it funny to buy people’s old dental licenses and weird crap like that.

I thought this was interesting - a brick from the old Clyde Williams facility is up for auction the next 13 hours:

I have one!

I bought a brick from my old buildnig at ISU that they tore down. I could buy this and double my brick collection!

I also bought a brick at the Alumni center, but they are holding onto it pretty tight.

Umm this thread shouldn't be about Clyde Williams with this elephant just sitting out there.

So far I have a dental degree from U if I, a marriage certificate from the late 1800s, someone’s perfect attendance award from the 1920s, and something else.

I have unique hobbies.
 
Darn it. I wanted to bid on this, but I got busy and forgot last night. Oh well, congrats to whomever got it.

It almost tripled in price from when posted!
